I'm here to point out the obvious faults in Stom and your comments. You keeps
dissing contrail, and now stom has jumped on the bandwagon. I was thinking
to myself when I heard Stom say "Square is louder than ever" My whole point
was I had heard nothing about this poor company. Yes, Saga Frontier 2 is
coming, but is the sequel to that dopey failure really going to be worth
glimpsing at when I stop into the local Funcoland? Legend of Mana looks good,
but I'll probably be busy enjoying my PS2 by the time it comes out , and give
a humorous chuckle. Front Mission 3? Tell me more...... and what the heck is
the Dew Prism? It's starting it melt on the grass and turn my front lawn into
a rainbow!! Now, Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon 2 I know about, but it's taking
a dip right into cutesy lane. Chrono Cross? *cough recycled SNES crap cough*
I think my germ has said more than I can say. And although the second
greatest RPG series ever made (Hahaha..Wild ARMs is still better) Final
Fantasy is fatally fumbling fantastic fanazz..errr I mean it's getting
boring..c'mon..FF8 has lost the magic of the chocobos that was held closely
in FF7, and as for any more mini-games I don't think we're getting anywhere.
So, now, have I dissed every possible Square game? Maybe the bouncer for PS2?
oh well I'll leave this to rest for now.

Butcherer of Stom and Miyu,
Mr. Mysterio

miyu:Okay, I knew I should have addressed your dismissal of their games *last* column. First of all,
SaGa Frontier 2 bears very little resemblance to the original, in graphical style, in play-style, in plot-style. You
really should try to keep an open mind about it until you actually play the game. After all, it's
still possible that Wild ARMs 2 could actually rebound from its predecessor's miserable start, so why can't SaGa Frontier
2? I actually liked SaGa Frontier anyway, but that's not the point. As for your callous dismissal of Chrono Cross and
every other Square game coming out, I laugh at you. Don't just dismiss them because you're trying to win an argument.
I'm excited about Square's year 2000 releases, and I'm sure a lot of other people are too.

Time? I forgot I had that...

Hey miyu,
In Grandia, How in the HELL am I suppossed to get Feena at level 99 for both wind and water elements in order to learn "Time Gate"
spell?! I have a life to live..

--Solidus

miyu:All I can say about that particular case is that you just have to try and cast spells that affect as
many people as possible every time you're in battle. Just keep the enemies alive and heal everyone and hurt them, you
can gain levels for both. It'll still be time-consuming, but hopefully less so than usual...

In general, I'd just like to say that trying to have a life and still complete RPGs is hell. Especially when the RPG
isn't that entertaining anyway. One is just tempted to go do *anything* else, and the unfinished RPGs just keep piling up!
-Sigh- ...at least I get a taste of most of the new RPGs!

Agggghhh...I'm *dead*!

S'up miyu!
I actually have a REAL RPG question! (The world gasps in horror)
Okay, how in the name of Colonal Sanders
~Princess
P.S. How do you pronounce miyu?

miyu(MEE-yu):Well, I managed to beat them with my party after a few tries, just concentrating on one
enemy at a time. If you make sure to do that, and you get lucky, you should be able to take them down. If not, maybe you
really do need to level up some more. I can't remember exactly what level I was when I got there, but I think it was close
to that...a few more levels could make a large difference though!

miyu:That's right, you heard it here at RPGamer first! Jasc Software has announced that they are switching
design focus from drawing programs to RPGs! Their first RPG will be a pokemon hybrid called Jasc: the RPG. In it, you
play both as Jasconius the Island Fish and miyu the cute vampire. As Jasconius you must maneuver the island around
obstacles and guide miyu to the promised land of Ni-Zenha. As miyu you must train your strawberries and potatoes to fight
when the time comes, for the arrival at Ni-Zenha will not be peaceful!

Watch for an exclusive story and screenshots later in the day as our sources are able to obtain them!

You know, I haven't heard anyone else's opinion on Vandal Hearts II...I know what I think, but how about
you guys? Like the new dual-turn battle system? How about the weapon system? Go ahead and send those
opinions in, and of course if you have any amazing insight into some other topic you can send that too!
